Egyptian embassy funds Labor’s Anne Aly on trip to Cairo

[Australian] Labor MP Anne Aly accepted more than $3000 in flights — ­including a trip to Cairo in July — from the Egyptian ­embassy, which last week issued a statement clearing her of being a foreign citizen.

The MP, who holds the marginal West Australian seat of Cowan by 0.7 per cent [and does not live in that electorate, but in the wealthier and trendier West Perth near the city and beaches], last Friday produced an unsigned letter from the Egyptian embassy declaring her dual citizenship had been ­relinquished two days after she lodged a request on May 4, 2016.
